The Florists^ Review 



Fkbbwabz le. 1922 



Louis Hoechner, manager of Peter 

 Beinberg, Inc. 



W. A. Hansen, representing Joseph 

 Foerster Co. 



H. G. Berning, of St. Louis. 



Various Notes. 



Joseph Kohout placed a contract Feb- 

 ruary 9 with the Lord & Burnham Co. 

 for one of its latest designs of iron-frame 

 greenhouses. The structure is to be 

 40x500 and, of course, is to be used to 

 increase the output of roses at Liberty- 

 ville. 



J. J. Duflfy has celebrated his recovery 

 from a severe attack of pneumonia by 

 ordering a complete outfit of new fix- 

 tures for his store at Fifty-fourth and 

 Halsted streets. The contract, which 

 has been placed with Buchbinder Bros., 

 includes a 12-foot refrigerator. The 

 color scheme of the store is to be French 

 gray. 



H. B. Kennicott has returned from 

 Clearwater, Fla., where his nursery in- 

 terests are located. 



Mrs. Paul Kubis died February 12 and 

 was buried under many flowers Febru- 

 ary 15. Mr. Kubis is well known to the 

 trade, as he has been chief wire design 

 maker for E. F. Winterson ever since 

 that gentleman started in the business, 

 twenty-nine years ago. Mrs. Kubis was 

 a sister of Mrs. Joseph Ziska. 



P. C. Schupp says that spring in the 

 flower business arrived last week. He 

 refers to the appearance of Mississippi 

 jonquils. 



H. M. Berner, well known draftsman 

 on greenhouse work, is no longer with 

 Agmco. 



Guy W. French, of the A. B. C, is 

 working his way into the northwest. 

 When last heard from he was at Great 

 Falls, Mont. "I find The Eeview wher- 

 ever there is a florist," is the word he 

 sends. 



M. C. Wright, managing director of 

 the western interests of the Lord & 

 Burnham Co., states that the recent re- 

 duction in the prices of greenhouse con- 

 struction material has resulted in bring- 

 ing up a number of large propositions 

 which had been held up by high costs. 

 Several of these orders have been closed, 

 including two houses for the E. G. Hill 

 Co. and the big house for Joseph Ko- 

 hout, and several other important deals 

 are on the fire. 



Owing to an increase in business, the 

 Cokal Stoker Corporation has found 

 it necessary to enlarge its ofSces and the 

 engineering, service and sales depart- 

 ments are now located at 341 to 349 East 

 Ohio street. 



John Poehlmann points out the eco- 

 nomic truism that "lower prices 

 broaden markets." 



The De Luxe Taxicab Co., in which 

 a number of florists are interested, is 

 taking steps to increase its capital from 

 $100,000 to $300,000 and has ordered 

 100 more eabs. 



Visitors. 



E. Lutey and wife, of Ironwood, 

 Mich., spent St. Valentine's day in Chi- 

 cago on their way home from a visit to 

 Detroit. Things, they say, are looking 

 up in the copper country. 



W. A. Toole, of William Toole & Son, 

 Baraboo, Wis., was here February 11 to 

 meet his brother, who was on the way 

 home from Washington, D. C, with the 

 body of his wife, to be interred at Bara- 

 boo. Mr. Toole took the opportunity of 

 calling on some of his local customers. 



Among last week's visitors was Mrs. 



DISTANCE IS NO OBSTACLE 



No other market has the shipping fa- 

 cilities of Chicago. Thirty-four rail- 

 roads, centering here, radiate to every 

 point; every depot is within a short 

 mile; the express company maintains 

 on the market a special corps of men 

 and trucks to handle flowers only. 



We are nearer than your neighbor. 



It is not distance that ordinarily uses 

 up time, but delay: for connections, 

 for transfer, for blunders.
